Abstract
Keywords: active safety, driver assistance, evaluation methods, supportive brake application
Recent releases of advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) are now featuring the ability to perform a brake manoeuvre to prevent the driver from collisions. Such systems present a significant challenge for sensing, interpreting and reacting to the environment and therefore require strict tests to evaluate their performance. The three tests that this paper focuses on are the effectiveness, capacity and controllability of the system. We describe the testing methods for these topics based on a concrete example of the development of two driver assistance systems: An Active Emergency Brake and a Communication-based Intersection Assistant.
